HBO removes Gone with the wind.

[The Architect Of Fate]

No i'm saying we can control the level of ugliness in a fictional movie .Why wouldn't we?. People deal with that enough in real life .

Agree, but then I'm scratching my head.
Why ban GWTW? Why doesn't society just accept that movie as a piece of pure fiction, like in a parallel universe where the black slaves loved what they did!
Like all the Startrek episodes, Roddenberry wanted to use scifi (as a sandbox) as a way to explore current social/political events in the real world without too much backlash.

I think all movies have a message to pass on. Some messages are more noble than others.
Like many propaganda Nth Korean or German WW2 movies, can't GWTW be construed as a white patriarchal supremacist propaganda movie of its era?

And if so, do we still want to call it art for portraying a skewed version of reality.
I can't see black people watching it as a fictional piece for artistic pleasure when it has such deep real world connotations.
How does one differentiate the two?
I genuinely don't know what the answer is.

1.It wasn't banned 

2. There huge difference between putting a disclaimer and rewriting the movie 

3.There a difference between explaining historical context and propaganda 

4.It's still art and portrayals in art can still be commented on how they relate to reality

But if I want to see the fictional ugliness, who is anyone to contol that?

Then watch gone with the wind .No one's stopping you

I, for one, am well past the age where someone needs to monitor what I choose to watch/read/listen to.  

I have also found that if I am watching something that I find I don't care for, I can turn it off.  Simple.

Accept nobody is 

Or they put a disclaimer 

Either one works

You use your brain for deducting reason though, not for storing incessant ramble to regurgitate upon command.

Actually people use it for both

It's weird to me that everyone's acting like HBO has gone full Stalin it's a disclaimer and some context added. It wasn't banned no ones out there burning physical copies of the film .If people have an issue then it's not like HBO is the only place you can see Gone With The Wind . It's not as though this is the first time something been altered for TV . It's just odd .
